Commercial Description:
IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India dark a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops, the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is a triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

Bottle. Pours an amber orange, with very little head an very little carb. Aroma is the best thing about this beer, with pine and grapefuit dominating, with florals and grass mixed in. Taste is fairly malty for an IPA, with buiscutty caramel notes coming up on the longer lasting bitter, citrussy hops. Resiny mouthfeel but dramatically under carbonated and fairly thin. OK but nothing special.

Pours a clear pale gold with a thin white head and an amazing fresh hop aroma, very agressive, lupulicious, tasty! Tastes good, surprising at first, very grassy hops. Great bitterness, present alcohol. Crisp and well carbonated. What a tasty IPA!

Picked this up at my local LCBO. Ahh thank god, I thought they’d never get good beer in again, and whats more, there suppose to be getting some dogfish head in anytime now, and that makes me a happy beer drinker. Pours a golden orange with a thin white head that dissolves to a film with some lacing. Aroma is pure hoppy goodness, lots of floral and citrus notes with just a little touch of malt. The flavour is pretty awsome, with loads of hoppy flavours, citrus, pine, orange peel, and just a touch of malty base. The only qualm with this beer is that the mouthfeel is just a LITTLE thin, but I can deal. TASTY TASTY BEVERAGE. Puts on a smile on my face, and gets me even more excited for dogfish head.

nice rich brown appearance with large white head. flavor is somewhat understated for an IPA with a mild crystal malt flavor and just a decent hop aspect. somewhat underwelming, not a huge fan

pours amber colour with white head that dissipates quickly. flavour is what you would expect from an true ipa, not overly bitter. mouthfeel is decent but something about the finish left me disappointed. overall a good ipa. It is a little drier in the finish than I would like personally but while you are drinking it is ok.
